ISE pages
The International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) was founded in 1949 by leading European and American electrochemists to serve the growing needs of electrochemistry. At that time, only a handful of scientists were members of the society – known as CITCE (Comité International de Thermodynamique et Cinétique Electrochimiques). Since then ISE has evolved and now comprises more than 3000 individual members, from more than 70 countries, and is organised in 40 Regional Sections. Both industrialised and developing countries from all five continents are represented. ISE is, therefore, a truly world-wide organisation. ISE is a non-profit-making organisation with its seat in Lausanne, Switzerland. The International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) is devoted to the advancement of electrochemical science and technology through the promotion of international contacts and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. For this ISE organises Annual Meetings and Topical Meetings which are held in different countries each year and which cover a wide range of current topics in fundamental and applied electrochemistry. The activities of ISE include the sponsoring of regional meetings, and of special meetings of limited participation devoted to particular subjects. A scientific journal, Electrochimica Acta, is edited by ISE and supplied to its members at a special rate. Individuals, non-profit organisations, industrial companies and learned societies may become members of ISE. The administration of ISE is done by an Executive Committee, periodically elected by all members. The Regional Representatives together with the Division Officers form the ISE Council which advises the Executive Committee. The scientific activities of ISE are grouped into Scientific Divisions. They are organised and co-ordinated by the Committee of Division Officers headed by the President Elect. Upon joining ISE each member indicates his/her divisional interests. The history of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) is described in a series of articles published in Volume 45 of Electrochimica Acta and available in the web site of the Society (http://www.ise-online.org/geninfo/history.php).
